Doe
The Breeders Lyrics

The Breeders' song "Doe" is a haunting and enigmatic track that leaves the listener with more questions than answers. The track begins with a simple, repetitive guitar riff that sets a hypnotic tone. Kim Deal's vocals come in softly, almost whispering "top this" before building up to a more urgent tone with the repetition of "da-da" and "tripping."

The song's lyrics seem to describe a scene of two people sitting together, with the singer walking over to the other person who is described as "salty salty." The other person knows something that the singer finds good, real, and pretty. The repeated phrase "it's all salty Timmy" adds to the mystery of who these characters are and what their relationship might be. The other person speaks the enigmatic phrase "Doe Doe Doe," which further adds to the sense of ambiguity and intrigue.

Later in the song, there's a sense of danger or risk, with the lyrics describing "burning the field completely" and feeling the last light. Despite this, there's a continued obsession with the idea that something is good, real, and pretty, such as the repeated lines "I feel it's real, it's pretty" and "it's all salty Timmy." The song ends on this same mysterious note, with the final repetition of "he said Doe Doe Doe" leaving the listener with more questions than answers.
